British Update: Star Love Stories In Pictures
*Girls’ Picture Libraries: We’ve been doing a bit of detective work on this one. It seems that in the 1960s, D C Thomson published a romance picture library under a variety of titles: Love & Life Library, Blue Rosette Romances, Silver Moon Romances and Golden Heart are the ones we’ve come across. Now, we suspect (but don’t know for sure), that these all had one numeric sequence, whatever the title. In any event, that seems to be the case after issue #100, when the overall title of Star Love Stories – All In Pictures took over and the previous titles stayed for a while as sub-titles until they all eventually became Star Love Stories in Pictures. As well as a couple of Love & Life Library pre-Star fresh in, we have a stonking amount of nearly 200 of these Star Love Stories in Pictures fresh in, ranging from #103 to #1213. Its longevity pays testament to what must have been its enduring popularity (1960s to 1990s) and at £1.50 to £2.50 each for the vast majority of these, this title represents outstanding value.
